Mary & Blake recap and react to Outlander Season 8, Episode 10, "And The World Was All Around Us" — the series finale. For the final episode of Outlander, we are joined by Julie — the godmother of Outlander Cast and the person who introduced Mary to the Outlander books in the first place. In this episode, we discuss the Battle of Kings Mountain, Jamie's fate, Claire's blue light, ghost Jamie, the forget-me-nots, the final montage, Diana Gabaldon's cameo, and whether this episode works as a true series finale. Mary gives the finale a 5 out of 5. Blake gives it a 2 as a series finale. Julie brings the book-reader perspective and lands somewhere in the emotional middle. We also chat why "A Knight Of The Seven Kingdoms" from Game Of Thrones is the perfect farewell episode, why the Outlander finale may have repeated goodbyes instead of escalating them, why Fanny and Faith still feel underpaid, whether Claire actually died, why Jamie's ghost works, and why the final montage might be the best part of the whole episode. Plus, we discuss bad corn shucking, Master Raymond as E.T., Adso's return, Diana Gabaldon conspiracy theories, The Good Place, Breaking Bad, The Sopranos, Harry Potter, Jackie and Shadow, and why Blake is apparently Frodo now.

Mary & Blake recap and review Outlander Season 8 Episode 8, "In The Forest." In this episode, we discuss why this hour felt like a massive breath of fresh air, how Ronald D. Moore's return to the writer's chair changed the emotional temperature of the show, and why Jamie and William's forest scene finally gave us the father/son material we've been waiting for. We also get into Roger somehow becoming one of Blake's favorite parts of the episode — yes, really — Fanny possibly hearing the stones, the very convenient Frank "Deadeye" reveal, Claire's lack of screen time, Marsali's next step after Fergus, and why the Lord John cliffhanger feels a little too late in the season. Plus, Mary has serious issues with the condition of Frank's book, Blake is fully wearing Ron Moore footie pajamas, and Five Questions That Got Nothing To Do With Outlander somehow leads us to Jars of Clay, leftover pizza, mac and cheese, and the Universal Epic Universe How To Train Your Dragon soundtrack.

Mary & Blake listen to your feedback for the Outlander series finale, "And The World Was All Around Us." In this final listener feedback episode for Outlander proper, we hear your thoughts on Jamie and Claire's ambiguous ending, Claire's blue light, Frank's book, Ghost Jamie, the original Skye Boat Song, the loose ends from Season 8, the Faith/Fanny storyline, William being wildly underused, and whether the finale gave the series the emotional closure it deserved. We also spend a lot of time simply saying thank you. Thank you for the calls, the emails, the voicemails, the theories, the kilt ratings, the GBGs, the parties, the friendships, the disagreements, the bad reviews, the good reviews, and twelve years of sitting around this kitchen table with us. Outlander Cast is not going away. We'll still be covering Blood Of My Blood and whatever comes next in the Outlander universe.

Mary & Blake recap and give reaction to Outlander Season 8 Episode 9, "Pharos." In this episode, we discuss why Lord John Grey finally gets the emotional spotlight, why the Jamie and Lord John chess scene may be the best payoff of Season 8, and why "Pharos" works as both a literal lighthouse clue and a symbolic title for the episode. We also get into Richardson's reveal as a time traveler, Claire letting him go, Lord John shooting him anyway, Percy's betrayal, William's two-fathers reckoning, Bree giving birth, Claire writing "our story," and whether this episode actually works as the penultimate chapter of the entire series. Plus, Mary brings the heat on Under The Tuscan Sun, cannoli, cribbage, Kelly Clarkson, mouth farts, and why Lord John walking away from Percy may be his Miss Independent moment. In this episode, you'll hear: Why "Pharos" is a strong episode title How Diana Gabaldon's writing shapes the Lord John material Why the chess scene between Jamie and Lord John works so well Whether Percy's betrayal and death hit hard enough Why Richardson's plan feels underbuilt Claire's hope that history can still change Lord John as the emotional engine of the episode William's complicated love for both Jamie and Lord John Whether "Pharos" gives enough momentum going into the finale Support the show and get bonus content at JoinTheNerdClan.com.

Mary & Blake discuss listener feedback for Outlander Season 8 Episode 8, "In The Forest." In this episode, we go through your reactions to one of the strongest episodes of the final season — including why so many listeners felt like Ron Moore helped get the show back on track, why Jamie and William's hug absolutely broke everyone, and why Fanny hearing the buzzing has people very, very nervous. We also discuss the lingering fallout from Episode 8.07, whether Fergus's death worked better than the book version, Marsali leaving the Ridge, Frank's "Deadeye" reveal, Lord John walking into yet another trap, and why the final two episodes still have a LOT to pay off. Plus, Angie gives us the quote of the season, Mary gets emotionally wounded by Apple Podcast reviews, Blake compares Outlander's spin-off energy to the DCEU, and we somehow end with tuna melts, Mr. Feeney, Chantilly cake, and "I'm not a Hulk, I'm a person."
